For the babies we have a special Baby Read 'n' Rhyme session at HJ Daley Library on Monday 18 August from 10.30am to 11am.

On Tuesday 19 August at 6pm why not come and join in the fun for the Reading Hour. We are having a very special Family PJ Storytime at HJ Daley Library.

On Thursday 21 August at 6pm Glenquarie Library will have their very first PJ Storytime. Why don't you put on your PJs, grab your family, bring your teddy and join us for a special storytime in the library at night.

We also have special storytimes in our regular time slots and displays in all branches of the library as well as our lucky prize draw.

For any child or young adult who borrows with their library card at any branch of the library from Friday 15 August to Friday 22 August can enter our Lucky Draw Prize. There will be two winners from every branch. Entries open today and close 22 August. All winners will be notified on Friday 30 August.
